Thread: Ostheer Artillery: 105mm, Panzerwerfer10 Apr 2015, 14:57 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 11:50 AMdasheepeh Arty pieces come without call ins? OH SUCH BAD DESIGN, NEED MORE TIGURS No need to be sarcastic. I meant to say: The doctrine doesn´t come with heavy tanks aka a very effective unit. This is good design. But the artillery piece shouldn´t suck as you sacrifice the aforementioned effective unit. Nobody is going to build artillery instead of heavy tanks if in the end you get out less of the doctrine. This applies to all doctrinal artillery pieces. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ostheer Artillery: 105mm, Panzerwerfer10 Apr 2015, 10:10 AM I think the Ostheer artillery is strange. They have great early game options with the mortar ht and the regular mortar. Late game however you barely have a chance to defeat a well dug in opponent as you are lacking the late game artillery. Getting the 105mm means no Tiger/Elefant. That alone means its seen rarely. But then it seems to miss too often and the reload takes very long. 600mp and locking the ability to go for heavy tanks isn´t worth it at all. The Panzerwerfer is hard to get to (tech cost) and even if you have it, it has to come very close to its target to actually hit. I have been using it lately for the fun of it - when the game was already won. Per barrage (firing on weapon teams) I got 2 kills on average. Hardly worth it. It´s frustrating that Ostheer lacks a whole option: Late game indirect fire. Your thoughts? Edit: writing this because of a game with a friend: 2v2, 2x Ostheer vs 2x Soviets. In the lategame we had two Tigers and a Panther versus an IS-2, 2x T-34/85 and 4 Zis guns + several Maxims. The infantry couldn´t defeat the Zis as it was sniped by the tanks, the tanks couldn´t be defeated because of the Zis cover. Usually arillery would have helped but my Panzerwerfers missed. This camping costed us this (exceptionally dull) game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Bullits: Flanking Maneuvers and other things10 Apr 2015, 09:52 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Apr 2015, 09:38 AMNoudt Hey how can I get this bullit? Flanking Maneuvers Its said Kill 70 HMG team members and 70 Mortar team members with Shock Troops Hmm better ask what are teammembers? Like for the Germansmembers - Mortar ( 4 units ) are these 4 members or 1 member? Correct me if I´m wrong, but I think those achievements are outdated. You can´t unlock anything by fulfilling the task. You need to get a lucky drop by playing multiplayer games. The chance to get a drop for Soviets is higher when playing Soviets. As for members: It´s the entities on the mortar. A German mortar has 4 members, a Russian mortar has 6 members. Though I´m not 100% sure whether you don´t get one member per weapon crew less - as the last member runs away instead of being killed on the regular mortars (not the Russian 120mm). In: Lobby
Thread: British Faction, what do you want to see?9 Apr 2015, 20:48 PM Tanks that actually fought in the war. No crazy stuff. No post war stuff. Which means no "Black Prince". This vehicle makes as much sense as the Maus. Primarily Fireflies, Cromwells and Churchills. People here seem to dislike the Churchill tank. I guess that´s partly because it was so weak in Coh1. Well, the developers got it totally wrong back then. The Churchill Mark VII actually had up to 152mm of armor. That´s a lot... get that unit in. As an end game tank... focusing on getting rid of infantry but the armor to withstand lots of hits. There are so many possibilities with Churchill variants. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A letter to Relic COH2 Game balance team8 Apr 2015, 17:58 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Apr 2015, 16:53 PM-HOI-PauL.a.D 8. M4A3E8 set it to Front armor 235 rear 105. 720 HP. Cost 460 MP and 155 fuel. Please give USF a tank that can deal with panther. More powerful but more expensive . Hell, no! Certain boundaries shouldn´t be crossed. Even if some of you despise the realism argument there is a certain rule: Panther > Sherman that every decent WW2 game stands up to. What would be next? Panzer IV beating the IS-2 in a frontal standoff? Don´t cross the line where Coh loses all credibility. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is the King Tiger still worth 260 fuel?4 Apr 2015, 16:51 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2015, 16:41 PMLosira420 Agreed it was balanced but Relic sucumbed to the whine of Allies. As it was stated multiple times high teching cost, need all trucks to deploy, high actual cost of the unit and most importantly the timing is 35++ minutes into the game. This unit needs to be really good for all those disadvantages you can't play around just because it requires lots of fuel and if you count in nerfed blitz and slow speed it needs the armor to stay alive. But Germans mustnt have strong tanks! In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T34/76 should get a slight buff3 Apr 2015, 22:15 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2015, 21:51 PMpussyking Maybe T34/76 should get a slight buff becouse it dies too quickly. Maybe a health increase like 222. No, it has about the same survivability as the P4. It would fuck up the balance between those two. A T-34/76 then as a consequence beating a long-barrel P4 would be utterly ridiculous. Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2015, 21:51 PMpussyking T34 should get a armor upgrade so it stands a chance against axis armor. It´s not meant to fight tanks. Nor was it good against tanks past 1942. Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2015, 21:51 PMpussyking Its the best tank ever made, it needs some love. Not per vehicle. On a single vehicle basis the T-34 was garbage. Especially the T-34/76. The commander had to load and was totally overwhelmed by fulfilling two tasks, the vision was poor and every Axis anti tank weapon by the time this game is set could easily defeat it. It was the most lost tank of the war. Some 40.000+ were lost. That´s how survivable it was. Its only saving grace was the availability through numbers and maintenance. It should be a numerous tank not a quality tank. Believe it or not: German tanks in this game are a shadow of what they were on a vehicle basis. You have Tigers that can barely fight T-34/85s and Panthers outright losing head on assaults. KTs being finished off frontally is only the icing on the cake. Yet you scream for even better performance for Soviets. Better delete Germans out of the game then. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Salvageable map wrecks - Overlook or working as intended3 Apr 2015, 19:31 PM I assume its more of a problem with the salvage doctrine which gives you a bit more than the 5 fuel out of the wreck. I don´t have it - so I can´t tell how much you get. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New faction British??3 Apr 2015, 18:51 PM Don´t fuck up on their design like in Coh1. Hated playing them with a passion. 1) No real vet, only on Captain, Lts and the command tank. Making you blob. 2) No fast movement speed on infantry in hostile territory unless accompanied by a Lt. making you blob. 3) Trucks that prevented the capture of a point. Making it easy to camp. 4) Emplacement-spam being a viable option. Making you camp. 5) Churchills with paper thin armor. Making you only use retarded Kangaroo carriers. --> The old faction was everything the British shouldn´t have been. Just imagine the possibilities on the Churchill and a rewarding vet system.

Thread: Relic's Roadmap3 Apr 2015, 14:13 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2015, 10:02 AMNebaka The third German faction is ridiculous. This must be one of the German allies (Italy, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria) or combination of them. Why? Germanys Allies didn´t do much. The Italians fucked up, asked the Germans for help on the Balcans/Greece. Fucked up in North Africa and asked the Germans for help to eventually turn on them and join the Allies. Their equipment wasn´t good either. The other factions are too small. Romanians, Bulgarians and Hungarians fighting in every game is strange. In: Lobby
